Right lol.
Every week we are lucky to get a 75k pot
Both are cancerous gameplay. I’m glad Bliz is starting to take action against it.

This is the only solution. Kill the bottomless demand, supply dries up once it isnt profitable. You dont need to ban or chase bots, they’ll remove themselves if you kill the use for the stuff they produce.

The only solution is to ban gold buyers, not punish players who don’t buy it.
What a daft suggestion.

The only solution is to get people to snitch on each other. If only buyers get targeted, nobody cares and plenty get swept under the rug for it to end up ineffective, same as it does now (buyers do get banned). You need to go extra heavy handed so that people not only do not do the bad thing, but actively keep others from doing it due to paranoia and wanting to cover their own behind.
Blizzard cant even police gold buying, why do think they will be able to police rmt this way?
They won’t be able to detect if the gold came from a gdkp or from selling in trade chat. Or from profession tips, or any other method where gold changes hands. They would auto detect and ban them all and leave it to appeals which take 2 to 3 days to resolve.
If they would just hire GMs to ban the gold buyers so they cant just buy risk free like they do today it would solve it.
I really like this, have the game handle the collection and distribution of the gold. When would it pay out though? After every bid?
Seems most likely.
They cant. Do wide sweeps, then let them appeal. Doesn’t matter, keeps people on their toes, keeps them suspecting others of doing RMT, keeps them scared of big gold pots for fear of a second offense and a perma ban. Foster distrust so that they report the slightest hint of RMT instead of dumbly celebrating it as now.
Hit everyone with 1 week suspensions at random, let them turn on each other and bring the actual culprits to you to keep the hammer away from them.
Should Blizzard also create a special in-game police force to hunt down anyone suspected of even grouping with a RMT gold buyer? Maybe they could give them special brown tabards or something.
Yeah no.
It’s not in the best interest of the game, the player, or for blizzard to hand someone what will now be a 5 to 7 day ban due to increased appeals volume because a gold buyer tipped them 10g for an enchant.
And also sell special VIP status on the blizzard store for people who are equal, just more equal than the other players.
I know what it sounds like but Blizzard IS the owner of the entire ecosystem, they can actually enact changes and objectively know things, so they can become big brother for real, should they want to.
even if all of them buy gold, the pots in sunwell are hardly larger than the naxx gdkps.
People see a youtube video and ignore all the posted and public sunwell bids on their own servers
this doesn’t exist anymore with Inscription.

No real end cap. It can go as high as you can swipe.
Also, even if amounts aren’t insane, the more simultaneous raids that are happening the more volume of gold is being injected. And there are a lot more GDKPs now than back in classic, by a large margin.

Stop lying.
Gem cut, blacksmith item, and enchants.
You can buy cut gems from the auction house, but people still look for and pay people to cut them.

The most unreliable place to get real world info.
People will flex and do dumb stuff.
On a side note, people without money are constantly saying “We should do away with money, it’s evil”. Then they get some, and they change their tune.
If they wanted to, they could very easily address RMT using simple tracking mechanisms (such as tainted gold) to backtrack through gdkp transactions to common accounts.
And yes, blanket, low threshold bans could certainly be effective. As well as some strict regulations on AH use (low limits per char)…hell might help with one person listing one piece of cloth 400 times as well.

Boosting = GDKP, if one goes the other needs to go!

you’re not even reading what I am writing.
you can look at what sunwell pots are, most of them are public. They are not very high, most items go for around 5k-10k, with prices dropping week to week.
no, there isn’t a real end cap but if every raider was literally spending over 2k USD every week…wouldn’t every gbid be grossly inflated?
Instead they’re pretty stable, you join a couple gdkps and suddenly you have more than enough gold to buy a lot of items. Last gdkp a guildmate went to got a payout of 5k, tanks in ZA gdkps can get 600-1000g for about an hour of work and items only go for 200g-500g
